On Wings I Dream is a dream project of late, a custom illustrated children's book commissioned by a client turned friend and book author, Christy Liang.

Christy is a magical lady whom I've not met in person, but her bright personality, the love and warmth I felt from her words for her children painted a vivid picture of her. Her charisma and kindness had brought such a positive influence to the project.

The book was meant as a gift for her children, and she envisioned the illustrations to be whimsical and entertaining for young readers, yet looking pretty for the coffee table.

Illustrations were hand-painted individually in watercolour and screened for post-editing. The process was long and laborious, but I was pleased to see my hard work paying off when the story and pictures came together nicely.

The most meaningful part of this book is none other than the iconic destinations that Christy had personally travelled to.These were brought out with illustrations, paired perfectly with her written words that were full of love and warmth.

A half-opened Moroccan door with butterflies fluttering into a whimsical land, colourful hot air balloons carrying safari animals overseeing the rolling dunes of Morocco, babies playing on the sun and moon…...if only I could ride on a giant butterfly and get away now, I would.
